Hernan Crespo is enjoying his time in Genoa following his summer move there from Inter.

Goal.com caught up with the Argentine hitman for a 360 degree interview, in which he spoke about his ambitions with the Grifoni, the showdown between former side Inter and Barcelona in the Champions League, as well as the Adrian Mutu - Chelsea compensation battle.

There has been much hype surrounding the big game between the Nerazzurri and Barca, and Crespo believes the recent squabbles between the Inter fans and Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sparked off by the striker.

"I was expecting friction between Ibrahimovic and the Inter fans," Crespo told Goal.com

"I heard what Ibrahimovic said, and I know the Inter fans, so all this does not surprise me."

The game is being billed as the biggest of the round. The former Nerazzurro is leaning towards Inter, hoping they can go all the way to lift the trophy for the first time since 1965.

"I think it doesn't matter who wins as both teams will qualify for the next round," he asserted. "It's hard to say who will end up winning it, but I obviously hope Inter will. I have always had a special relationship with the clubs and fans."

Crespo left Inter behind for the lure of Genoa, who signed him on a free transfer.

The hitman was wanted by a number of top sides, but his decision to join the Rossoblu is paying dividends as they are joint top of the table.

"I don't think [Genoa] need to make any jump in quality. In fact, we must keep our feet on the ground," added the former Parma striker.

"My objective is to play regularly, and with consistency."

Crespo's former club, Chelsea, have been entangled in the battle with his ex-Blues team-mate Adrian Mutu over the €17 million compensation the Romanian was ordered to pay.

FIFA's decision was upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, despite Mutu's appeal. The Genoa striker has given his views on the delicate situation.

"I don't really know the case that well and so it's hard to make a judgement, but what I feel is that it's not just a question of money," added Crespo.

"I know [Chelsea owner Roman] Abramovich well and I have an excellent relationship with him. I had to return to Italy twice for my own reasons and when I asked him he understood my needs and he did not ask money from Milan or Inter.

"I think that there is something more than just money about this. I think it's more a question of respect, but, like I said, I don't know all the details, and so I cannot comment further."

Hernan Crespo was speaking to Goal.com Italia's Sergio Stanco.

I Will Be Emotional But Give My All Against Inter – Genoa’s Hernan Crespo

Genoa’s Hernan Crespo is set to square off against his old team-mates from Inter this weekend, when Serie A resumes after a lay-off for the international break.

The Argentinean striker is eagerly anticipating the match, and claims that he will be very emotional when the two sides meet.

“I have a lot of affection for Inter, but I will give 100% for the shirt I now wear,” Crespo stressed in an interview with Pianetagenoa1893.net.

“They are a great club, and I am glad to have played for them. So for me, it is inevitable that this match means more, as everything I do will be sentimental.

“I will be very emotional when I greet them and the Nerazzurri fans, whom I love, making the match even more special.”

The hitman was then questioned about whether or not he would celebrate, if he were to score against the reigning Italian champions.

He continued, “There must be respect for everyone, but I will not hide my affection, as that wouldn’t be fair to the Genoa fans.

“When I go onto the field, I will always give 100% for my team, irrespective of who we are playing against.”

The Grifoni host Inter on Saturday evening, with the play scheduled to get underway at around 20:45 CET.

Juve consider Crespo bid
Thursday 14 January, 2010
Tuttosport understands that Juventus are looking to address their issues in attack with a bid for Genoa striker Hernan Crespo.

The Bianconeri are currently in the process of bringing Davide Lanzafame back from his loan at Parma, but the club's directors are keen to ensure the team has as many options as possible going forward.

David Trezeguet is out for six weeks with an ankle injury, Vincenzo Iaquinta has only just returned from knee surgery, and Ale Del Piero and Amauri have struggled to find the net this season.

Juventus director of sport Alessio Secco and the club's vice-general manager believe Crespo could lend and hand and wouldn't necessarily break the bank even though he only joined Genoa in the summer.

Crespo has made 13 appearances for the Rossoblu so far this season, but the 34-year-old has only started on five occasions, scoring four goals.

Tuttosport believes Genoa would be prepared to loan Crespo to Juventus until the end of the campaign in return either for a small fee or the final 50 per cent of Domenico Criscito's rights.

Crespo has been one of the decade's best strikers in Serie A, scoring 69 goals for Parma, 39 for Lazio, 10 for Milan and 21 for Inter.

Let's hope not...i don't want to fuck my great opinion on him. Besides, he just doesn't fit gobbi style.
